Title: Trampling Gisela.
Post by: Dudecore on May 30, 2012, 10:32:18 PM
I'm having a bit of difficulty explaining that {Gisela, Blade of Goldnight} ability factors as damage is being dealt, not assigned.

Like if i attacked with {Primeval Titan} + {Revenge of the Hunted}, 12/12, then I attack, they block with Gisela, i assign 5 damage to Gisela (because that's all I have to assign to deal lethal damage, before any other abilities), then trample the other 7.

Then Gisela deals 10 to Primeval, he lives, Primeval deals 3 to Gisela, my trample damage deals 4 to the player.

Sound right? Or am I completely wrong...

You are completely correct. Damage replacement effects are applied last, after you've made your combat damage assignments.

But it says prevent half rounded up...half of 5 rounded up is 3 so prevent 3 correct? And it doesn't matter too much I just wanna make sure about that haha

It's preventing half of 5. 5/2 = 2.5, rounded up to 3. {Gisela, Blade of Goldnight} takes 3 damage and survives.

Edit: I see what you're saying, it's preventing the 3 and taking 2.

How about making it real simple and soulbond {nightshade peddler} to prime time and make Gilesa die and more trample damage.

If you want her to die, you could choose to assign 10 damage, and trample the other two.
